Blood Sugar Monitor - Where?

[Yabiaomer]

Hi ...

Kind people of the Forum, where can I buy a blood sugar monitor in CM?

Or alternatively, any online website where I can buy it?

I can order on Amazon, but shipment is expensive

Thanks...

If you're after a simple one to check your fasting glucose in the morning for example, the Accuchek Performa is one of the most common ones used. You can buy this over the counter at most pharmacies (Boots etc. the ones in Airport Plaza have them) the ongoing cost is in the test strips, which you need to buy regularly.

Here's what it looks like (it comes in a box with lancing device): http://www.accu-chek.com.au/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_303_303_-1_50913_303_303_303_Products

Note that the ones sold in Thailand measure in mg/dl (the American system); if you bought one in Europe or Aus/NZ they would measure in mmol/l (the strips work in both models).

Hope this helps.

There is a chemist shop on the ground floor in KSK near the TTT office, I purchased a BP machine there

Prices were ok
